ok lads

just wondering are wheaten terriers any good for hunting cover, ditches etc?

thanks bill.

The Dam of my pup was a pure Wheaten and the sire was a Wheaten x Bull (pictured) both worked cover very very well and are used on fox drives in Cumbria.So from what little i know i would say yes!

 

 

Awesome Looking Dog..

WELL SAID TT, WHEATENS ARE NOT FOR WORKING COVER. THEY ARE BRED FOR DIFFERENT WORK. YOU DON'T RUN A SHEEPDOG ON FOX DO YOU?

 

wel actually a friend of mine had a sheep dog a few year ago that barked on foxs through cover

a collie will hunt mad bud and a good wheaten will go through any cover,we had one before and he"d hunt away with the terriers no bother,but they dont bark and youd lose them fast.youd want to know the area before you let them go,if you knew there was no game around you could.

Never a truer word said.For starters you are putting mute dogs into your line.If your dog or bitch(ground dog)needs gameness from a wheaten she or he is no good anyway(get rid of it dont breed from it)If your dog or bitch is good enough put her to a good earth dog like herself.Locators or not earth dogs should make noise dont breed it out of them.If you are in to HEAVY digging the pups would be useless as they will get broke up and not last two seasons.I have seen idiots(not talking about anybody on this site)digging with such dogs and the more he got broke up the bigger macho mans head got.ITS THE MY MICKEY IS BIGGER THAN YOUR SYNDROME

and hopefully will work again ,Liam nobody wants dogs smashed up ,we have

left that behind us several years ago.I personally believe that if you breed this

type of terrier cross that you have watched and studied both dogs working patterns and

temperment for years before you make the decision to breed a litter ,think back when

bull was added to russells to throw them that bit of gameness ,and also several lines of

black dogs .So if after several seasons of one of these cross,es proving themselves beyond

doubt ,Do we not breed of her cos it might be to hard for the game and remain mute .Ive had

several mute dogs and knew before i dropped them in what the outcome of the dig would be ,unfortunatley

that type of gameness in dogs is slowly fading away as i believe theres not as many guys getting able

to try dogs to a standard we where able to in the 80s .So my personal belief is put in gameness where

it is needed .HORSES FOR COURSES .

If you put wheaten back to game terriers you will most definitely see dogs getting smashed up.you also dont need to study wheatens working patterns for very long to know how good he or she is five minutes is plenty,let him in if he tries to smash everything in front of him stays there and does not bark he is a good one,if he barks or comes away he is not.I know all the stories of some people putting game dogs to Russell's and black dogs some did but plenty did not(it was also whispered behind good terrier mens backs by begrugers who had f**k all oh he has bull in them)I cant stress enough its a no no dont put game dogs near your earth dogs you will destroy them.If you need a good stud look around they are out there.or if you are not happy with what you have dont put wheaten or bull in it get rid of it.
